About 1,000 families visit St. Joseph each week for milk and food, the release stated.

"Because of the generosity of companies like Kimberly-Clark, we are able to provide additional outreach to other agencies in our community who provide meals to those in need," said Karen Ziemke, development director for the St. Joseph Food Program.

"Milk is always the most basic of the basic food needs," Ziemke added.
